[Javapathfinder-devel] Summer of Code update

[John P. <jp...@go...>]

Hi JPF team,

This is a general update on the Google Summer of Code applications for Java
PathFinder for any students and mentors subscribed to the devel list.

Right now we have about 33 non-spam applications.  14 of these are for the
text book examples project and 8 for IDE integration.  The rest are scatterd
over the other projects.  We have several nice proposals from PhD students
for some of the "difficult" projects.

We have 7 mentors signed up.  I'm not sure how many projects we will be
allocated. But we may want more than one mentor.

Once the application deadline has passed, the mentor team will be able to
use the GSoC web app to rank the proposals.  If any mentors see a good
proposal for a favorite project, please let me know.

We will also have the chance to interact with the students and negotiate
details of the projects.  For example, if we have two excellent proposals
for the same project, we can re-arrange the project to be two projects so we
get the best students on the best projects.

If I have a chance, I may update the ideas list with the number of students
we have interested in the projects.

If anyone has more mentor ideas, please let me know.  Or remind me of any
that got lost in my email.

Thanks!

John
